Crystal Castles’ Ethan Kath (born Claudio Palmieri) and Alice Glass (born Margaret Osborn) are currently embroiled in a legal battle stemming from Glass’ accusations that Kath sexually abused her in the past. Kath sued Glass in November for defamation after she publicly claimed that he had raped her while they were in the band. Glass filed a motion in January to have Kath’s suit dismissed. In the time since Glass’ initial allegations, more women have gone to authorities with their own stories of misconduct by Kath.

Now, in a new interview with the Daily Beast, Glass has spoken out about the suit, saying that she is confident the case will be rejected. She went on to assert the defamation suit is meant to intimidate the other alleged victims who “probably don’t have access to a lawyer and so they’d be too scared to speak out if they think they’ll be sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars,” and concluded, “I refuse to be intimidated by him.”

Kath is currently under active criminal investigation in Toronto for sex crimes after an anonymous woman came forward and claimed he started a relationship with her when she was 15 years old. That woman said the relationship went on to become sexual when she was 16. The new report by the Daily Beast also includes interviews with multiple women who say they had sexual relationships with Kath beginning at ages 15 and 16. Kath has denied all of the allegations against him.
